Okay, I can improve this a little bit so zones which were once unloaded will not be reported again. This is a matter for a follow-up patch. On the other hand, I'm going to print message for every zone because this is was BIND 9.11 is doing. > - Warning log message about the configuration of global forward zone are > logged every time on start-up regardless of the forward policy set in LDAP. This is caused by forwarding policy configured in named.conf. I will think about possible fix but it is not that easy. For now I will leave it as it is. Maybe rebase to BIND 9.11 will fix it for us because they print warnings, too. > Other than that the changes look good to me.

Thanks, pushed to master: 3232aa4f35850c5164e7ec0b9cc523e3cf7bdb5d Unload automatic empty zones only if conflicting forward zone has policy 'only'. 4174e96496aad3dc8b7040b552aa589157d9ede6 Add ability to log warnings. 5c3312cee1c080c5df45741da26ed801a9262d74 Unload automatic empty zones which are super/sub/equal domain as forward zone. 998b3fbd055dd455c0c0f3ebf7a68efe12e5ce52 Do not touch global forwarders from named.conf if there is no config in LDAP. ffcfb9563ae97cdc345d5611ccc168101fdffeeb Add missing includes to util.h. 168ed7bb2145f1c515e0f6166e24797630949df2 Move zone_isempty() and delete_bind_zone() to zone_register.c.

I think that this is there since forever and I have no idea why it happens and what we can do to fix it :-( -- Petr^2 Spacek -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-devel mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel Contribute to FreeIPA: http://www.freeipa.org/page/Contribute/Code
